In his new book, The Dyson Delusion, controversial biologist Richard Dawkins claims the new Dyson DC33 was not just 'made' as some believe, but has evolved naturally over millions of years.
"The notion that the DC33 Multi Floor cleaner is the work of some lofty, white-haired supreme being is, quite frankly, ludicrous," states Dawkins.
"The longer-reach wand, the stow-away flex; science tells us that nature will have developed these features over millennia. To simply accept them as the product of an 'intelligent design process' because we are told it is true seems to me to be the very worst kind of lazy-minded nonsense."
Dawkins points to recent excavations in Peru to dispute the theory of those he labels 'those cleaner creationists'.
"Fossil records clearly show that the DC33 did not simply appear, but can be traced directly back to a series of more primitive, bag-based upright ancestors."
Dyson was last night unavailable for comment, but is thought to be planning retaliation against Dawkins through a plague of "something nasty, and particularly tricky to get out of carpets..."

Cute. Not a 5, but cute. I always feel like taking one of those stupid vaccums and hitting that self-important fool in the head with it. If a vacuum spat out Kruggerands when I turned it on, I would still resist the entire experience.

Helicopters and Vacuum cleaners have never really solved the noise issue.

I binned my vacuum cleaner. It was just gathering dust.

The good thing about evolution is that everything eventually becomes extinct. The sooner all the Dysons do the better.

Is Dyson a hoover fundamentalist?
